00:00I'm at a pub, just a stone's throw from the Gabba, and I am well and truly in the Lion's
00:07Den.
00:08What a day to be a Lions fan, and truly to see the celebration here is to believe it.
00:14Every time a goal was scored or a marker was made, the crowd here went crazy.
00:19When the final siren went off, the crowd here went absolutely ballistic, pouncing down,
00:24cheering, waving their arms.
00:26We spoke with a few supporters a little earlier, and this is what they had to say.
00:30What did it feel like in here when that final siren went off?
00:33The atmosphere was off the charts, it was so good.
00:35Boys played such a good game, and like, they deserved it.
00:38It's been such a long time coming, yeah, it's amazing.
00:41It's just been a long time, and it just feels like we were all just waiting to celebrate,
00:47and it was just amazing.
00:48What's the plan now, are you guys kicking on?
00:51We'll see, hey, we'll see.
00:52Absolutely, absolutely.
00:53There's certainly going to be a few sore heads when they wake up tomorrow, but this is truly
